Background: The cardiovascular risk associated with early renal insufficiency is unknown. Clinicians are often reluctant to use angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in patients with renal insufficiency.Objective: To determine whether mild renal insufficiency increases cardiovascular risk and whether ramipril decreases that risk.Design: Post hoc analysis.Setting: The Heart Outcomes and Prevention Evaluation (HOPE) study, a randomized, double-blind, multinational trial involving 267 study centers.Patients: 980 patients with mild renal insufficiency (serum creatinine concentration greater than or equal to 124 mu mol/L [greater than or equal to 1.4 mg/dL]) and 8307 patients with normal renal function (serum creatinine concentration < 124 mu mol/L [ 0.2 for the difference).Conclusions: In patients who had preexisting vascular disease or diabetes combined with an additional cardiovascular risk factor, mild renal insufficiency significantly increased the risk for subsequent cardiovascular events. Ramipril reduced cardiovascular risk without increasing adverse effects.
